Unless you are a pro and it is your living, it should be fun, its a hobby, I have several differing hobbies but that is what it boils down to, if you do not get enjoyment out of your hobby then its a bit sad I think.  I always though that was the reason for taking up hobbies, a way to relax and enjoy any spare time that you have.

A thread like this, should be a good debate, not an attack on a personal level.  Everybody is entitled to their own oppinion, and evry body should respect that right and have a debate not a slanging match.  My oppinion is different to a lot of others but I try to respect others have a right to theirs.

I do it for fun, its hard coming to terms with unemployment and realising you will never work again but this site has helped me tremendously, I have met lots of people from all over the world a lot of them call me a friend and visa versa.  One of the main things brough up on this thread was the buddy comments, you scratch my back I'll scratch yours.  I really don't see a problem with this, its a way of life, I do however sometimes make suggestions if I can see something I think is not quite right.  I am not a professional and half the time I don't spot things that other people do, so sometimes I think an image is superb someone else may think it is rubbish.  This is when I have to respect that persons right to their oppinion, after all that is all it is 'An Oppinion'.

I say if you do not get any fun out of your hobby, choose another hobby.

Nuff said!
